If you are running cygwin in the default mintty console, check the setting of the locale and character set in the mintty settings. On the settings text page, set the Character set to UTF-8 (it may display as UTF-8 (Unicode) in the drop-down. Also set the Locale to the right language and region. You will have at least C in the drop-down, plus any others from your windows regional configuration.
You may also want/need to change the display font in mintty. I've found DejaVu Sans Mono has better Unicode support than the default font. -Tony -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
